Print version record.

"The editors and authors set out to chart some of the changes taking place in pre-service teacher education and training. They examine the transformation in the supervision of students when they go into schools for teaching practice from a university base to a school base. The process is under scrutiny in Australia and the United States, whilst in England and Wales teachers are now asked to be real partners with their colleagues in the higher education institutions. This book explores what it is teachers are being asked to do in their roles as supervisors/mentors." "The book is essentially practical in its approach using verbatim statements from student teachers and mentor teachers about the supervision/mentoring process. Four case studies by teachers and teacher educators give details of school/university partnerships which can be used as models for those in the initial stages of planning school-based programmes of teacher education."--Jacket.
